the reason I was thinking of this weekend is my wife gets a new knee Monday. My life will be hectic for a few days after that!
Any time that is good for you let me know.

I'm not aware of any -801 steel bungees that are flying. Saw this post about an installation but not sure if it's flying yet. http://www.zenith.aero/forum/topics/steel-bungee?commentId=2606393%... Dan Niendorff opted for the Zenith donut/pucks system and I nearly did that but liked the Viking system more since it loads the bungee pin instead of the top firewall Z. Viking has an option for a -801 bungee on their order form which is what I ordered but the strap I got from them is clearly not going to work (maybe my 2008 kit has a different firewall / nosegear than the current SD or HD versions?).
Let me know next time you're in MKE. Zenith builders are always welcome!
